1. WHAT INFORMATION WE COLLECT FROM YOU.

1.1 Personal Information Versus Non Personal Information. Our primary goal in collecting information from you is to provide you with an efficient and helpful experience while using the Website and evaluating your skin. In order to do so, the Website collects two types of information about you: Personal Information and Non-Personal Information.

(a) “Personal Information” refers to information that lets us know the specifics of who you are and can be used to identify, contact, or locate you. Examples of Personal Information include, without limitation, your first name together with your last name, your credit card number, your mailing address and/or email address, and your phone number. Generally, we collect Personal Information when you use the Website to make product purchases, fill out surveys or questionnaires, join our mailing list, request catalogs, correspond with us, enter one of our sweepstakes or contests, choose to submit testimonials, stories, photos, or the like to the Website, or otherwise volunteer information about yourself. If you choose to complete any questionnaires to receive personalized skin consultations or analysis, we will also collect personal information related to your personal health such as: (i) age, (ii) gender, (iii) history of allergies, (iv) certain use of medication or drugs, and (v) any special health problems or concerns. If you purchase a gift certificate on the Website, we may collect the name, email address, mailing address, and telephone number of the recipient.

(b) “Non-Personal Information” refers to information that does not, by itself, identify you or a specific individual. Examples of Non-Personal Information we may collect includes, without limitation, demographic information, which web pages of ours are most often visited, and which of our products are either receiving the most purchases or website visits. We may collect Non-Personal Information through any of the methods discussed above, as well as automatically through use of industry standard technologies discussed further below.

1.2 Access and Change To Personal Information. We provide you with the ability to review, update, or correct Personal Information previously submitted by emailing us at customerservice@christenmichel.com. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to accommodate all such requests, especially to the extent such activities will not compromise privacy or security interests. Also, upon a user’s written request, we will functionally delete the user and his or her personal Information from the database, where such information is stored.

1.3 Information Collected Through Technology. We and our third-party service providers may collect information from visitors to the Website regarding the referring URL, your IP address, which browser you used to come to the Website, information regarding your domain server, the country, state, and telephone area code where your server is located, your type of computer, timestamp data, and the pages of the Website that you viewed during your visit. Some of this information is gathered through the following technologies by us or our third-party service providers:

(a) Cookies. In order to improve your user experience, we may use cookies. “Cookies” are small pieces of information that are stored by your browser on your computer?s hard drive. Generally, cookies work by assigning to your computer a unique number that has no meaning outside of the Website. Our cookies do not generally contain any personally identifying information. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually configure your browser to prevent this. Not accepting cookies may make certain features of the Website unavailable to you.

(b) IP Address. You can visit many areas of the Website anonymously without the need to become a registered user. Even in such cases, we may collect IP addresses automatically. Each time you access the Website and each time you request one of our pages, our server logs your IP address. Standing alone, your IP address is not necessarily personally identifiable.

(c) Web Beacons. We may use a variety of other technical methods for tracking purposes, including web beacons. Web beacons are small pieces of data that are embedded in web pages and e-mails. We may use web beacons in HTML e-mails that we send our users to determine whether they have opened those e-mails and/or clicked on links in those e-mails. The information from use of these technical methods may be collected in a form that is personally identifiable.

2. USE AND DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION.

2.1 Reproduction of Content. For visitors who provide photographs, stories, testimonials, or other feedback about our products or our Website, or provide us any other information via correspondence or otherwise (“Content”), we collect your first and last name, email address, and any Content included in the correspondence. By submitting the Content, you agree that we may use your Personal Information and such Content as permitted under this Privacy Policy, including reproducing, modifying, adapting, publishing, displaying, translating, and creating derivative works from the Content, in whole or in part, on the Website, and in our marketing and advertising materials, without any compensation to you. Further, we are free to use any ideas, concepts, know-how, techniques, and suggestions contained in the Content for any purpose whatsoever, including but not limited to creating, manufacturing, and marketing products and/or services using such information, all without compensation to you.

We may disclose your Personal Information to our third-party service providers, including companies we retain to manage or host the Website, companies we retain to fulfill product purchases or to provide services to you on our behalf, and companies we retain as consultants to conduct research on our behalf. These third parties may not use your Personal Information other than to provide the services requested by us. With respect to Non-Personal Information, we also share website usage information we gather from visitors to the Website who have received a targeted promotional campaign with our third-party marketing service partners for the purpose of targeting future campaigns and upgrading visitor information used in reporting statistics. For this purpose, we and our third-party marketing service partners may note some of the pages you visit on the Website through the use of web beacons.

(d) Enforcement of Law and/or Terms of Use. From time to time, we may be required by law enforcement or judicial authorities to provide Personal Information to the appropriate governmental authorities. We will disclose Personal Information upon receipt of a court order or subpoena or to cooperate with a law enforcement investigation. We fully cooperate with law enforcement agencies in identifying those who use our products or services for illegal activities. We reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies any activities that we in good faith believe to be unlawful. Moreover, we may use or release account information and Personal Information when we believe that such release is reasonably necessary to enforce or apply our Terms and Conditions or to protect the rights, property and safety of our users, others, and ourselves.

(e) Change in Control. We may transfer your Personal Information to a successor in interest to us if we are acquired by or merged with another organization. In such event, we will use reasonable efforts to notify you (either by posting notice on the Website or by email to you at the last known email address) before information about you is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy; however, in the event we fail to notify you, your Personal Information will still be transferred, but subject to this Privacy Policy.

3. OPTING-OUT.

You may change your preferences at any time by un-checking the boxes for opt-in communications.

4. SAFEGUARDING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION.

4.1 Our Security Measures.

They receive the information they need to verify and authorize your credit card transactions. All orders are transmitted over secure Internet connections using SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption technology.
